About the Position:
n
AI creates new capability. It also creates a different set of security, privacy and control challenges.
n
This role sits directly at that intersection.
n
You'll lead the practical application of AI governance and cyber security controls, helping ensure AI technologies can be adopted securely and responsibly across a complex enterprise ICT environment. The work spans AI risk assessment, governance frameworks, security standards and policy, but importantly, it also moves into the technical implementation of those controls.
n
A key part of the role is translating emerging AI risks including data leakage, prompt injection, model manipulation and unauthorised AI usage into practical safeguards across Microsoft 365 and associated platforms.
n
This is where the role stands apart: it needs someone who can connect AI governance, cyber security and policy with hands‐on controls engineering rather than operating solely within one of those disciplines.
n
What You'll Do:
n
n
Develop and continuously improve AI governance, security standards and control frameworks aligned with cyber security, privacy, risk and compliance requirements.
n
Assess AI use cases and emerging threats, providing practical recommendations for secure and responsible AI deployment.
n
Design, implement and maintain AI-related security and data protection controls across Microsoft 365,



Purview and associated platforms.
n
Work across technical teams, architects and policy stakeholders to translate AI risks and requirements into actionable enterprise controls.
n
n
What We Are Looking For:
n
n
Experience across AI governance, technology risk, cyber security governance or information security, with a strong understanding of responsible AI, privacy and data protection.
n
Hands‐on experience implementing cyber security and compliance controls within Microsoft 365, particularly Microsoft Purview, DLP and information protection technologies.
n
Ability to assess AI risks and translate governance, security, ethical and legislative requirements into practical technical controls.
n
Strong stakeholder engagement skills, including the ability to bridge conversations between technical teams, architects, policy makers and external partners.
n
n
Technology & Environment:
n
n
Microsoft Purview DSPM for AI, DLP & Information Protection
n
AI Governance, Assurance, Risk & Security Controls
n
n
A Quick Note Before You Apply:
n
This isn't purely an AI policy/GRC role, nor is it a traditional cyber engineering position with AI added to the title.
n
The stronger fit is someone who can move between both worlds: understanding AI governance and emerging risks, then helping design and implement the controls that make responsible AI adoption practical within an enterprise workplace.
n
Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI Foundry, Power Platform, Copilot Studio, AWS or third-party generative AI/LLM platforms is desirable rather than mandatory.
n
Applicants must be Australian Citizens, hold a minimum NV1 Security Clearance.
